  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

2 years and 4 months later

Here I sit reading through these posts and remembering everything I went through back then. I am still maintaining my weight loss & I am working to loss about 15 more which would put me around 160 lbs. Made too many yummy sweets during the holidays. Although just a bite or two was satisfying I still feel pudgy right now. Time to get back on track!! I cleaned out the house of all the carby junk and sweets. A friend gave me a bottle of some kind of caramel syrup for coffee!! I did not even open it..just tossed it this morning!
Oh and now my husband is working a job that requires him to live out of town and only be home on the weekends. That sucks but makes eating simple for me & we are not "out" during the week at all.
My new favorite cardio is rowing! I am up to 10 minutes at 50% resistance. I am setting a goal to lose the 15 lbs by April. Kind of glad they sent me the email to reset my password. I feel like this blog helps me stay on target.
So how is everyone else doing??? Happy New Year 2016 :)

August 2014

Just wanted to add this picture. I felt really 'skinny' that day ;)

It's been 1 year and 1 day since my life changing surgery

Howdy folks. I have not posted here in a long time!! I hope you are all well & THIN :) My husband and I are in the process of building a brand new home and I am so excited. This is some stressful stuff & I would totally be gaining weight if I had not done the sleeve a year ago. Reformed stress eater here ;)
Anyway, I found a gym I like and worked with a trainer for 3 months. Did not really lose weight but definitely gained muscle and core stability. Now I am TRX training and doing Hard Core, Hard Drive and Pilates classes.
I am hovering around the 73 lbs lost area. I would like to lose 20-30 more but if I don't I am ok with where I am. I like that the workouts are helping with the "muffin top" and other "fatty" areas that women in general struggle with. I am 170...give or take...got down to 167 for a minute, lol. Even lost 5 lbs on a vacation to New Mexico last month.
At this point, sometimes I forget that I even had surgery! I cancelled my follow up visit with the doc and rescheduled for a few weeks out just because we now live an hour + south of DC/MD and I REALLY HATE driving North!! I would really like to see Dr Greene and thank him for changing my life but they said the appointment could be a few hours if I wanted to wait to see him.....That is a bit disappointing, you would think he would want to see his patients at least 1 time after surgery. Not sure if I posted this earlier but I DID have to see him when a stitch started coming out of my skin ;) yeah! Gross I know but I have been known not to dissolve them before.
Let's see what else.....I still can't eat big portions of anything and that is good. I FEEL my full every meal!! And I stop eating as soon as I feel it! Some days, especially if traveling I use Muscle Milks just like I did when fasting and after the surgery and it feels like my stomach shrinks up so even 2 bites fills me.
OH and this is awesome!!! My husband bought me a beautiful Crystal Red 2011 Grand Sport Corvette!!
Hope to keep up on this blog again. It really brought back memories reading my old posts.
And I hope to see some of your success stories.
Take care y'all :)
